For instance, it has been discovered that the distance between the ground commoning and the mating interface of the connector 100 is directly related to the frequency of a crosstalk resonance using a half wave equation. When the distance is consistent between all differential signal pairs, the resonant frequency is also consistent for all aggressors that inject noise onto a victim differential signal pair. By changing the location of the ground commoning to create an offset distance of as little as approximately 0.2 mm, the resonant frequency of all aggressors will shift enough so that they are not adding up causing a large crosstalk spike in power sum crosstalk on the victim differential signal pair. This can result in significant performance increases of the electrical connector 100.
